Artifact Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic upset plans to hold the 2020 Indianapolis 500 as scheduled on May 24 -- but not before many souvenirs were already manufactured. Officials postponed the race until August 23 and ran it without spectators in attendance. Japanese driver Takuma Sato took the checkered flag for his second Indy 500 victory, following his win in 2017.
